SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito (ordered without meat)
Christina B.

Don't mind if I do do eat curbside the second it warms up even a little. This visit, I had the Supersonic breakfast burrito. It's a regular breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese but they add in tater tots, jalapeños, diced onions and tomatoes. It normally comes with bacon or sausage but I omitted the meat. This was my first time trying breakfast at Sonic and I think I prefer it to the lunch items. It was a hefty burrito. The eggs were good and I liked the freshness from the tomatoes and onions. There was an option to add nacho cheese for like 60 cents which I think I would definitely do next time. I also had a side of ched'r' peppers. They were pretty good but not as fresh-tasting as the burrito. I liked the iced coffee but it was on the sweeter side. The "good" ice bumped it up a notch. I like the option to order in the app, plus they have lots of offers and rewards. They had $1.99 cheeseburgers if you order in the app. Without the coupons, they are $4-$6 for just the cheeseburger. I'm not sure it's worth it. Plus I think we got a free fries as well. It's a hassle to download the app when you can just order at the booth but it's worth it for the savings. The food came out super quick and everything was correct. We didn't interact with the staff too much since we ordered through the app but they were friendly enough. I definitely go for the ambiance and drinks more than the food but I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast burrito this time and I'll order it again.

Chili cheese hot dog

Much better this time with the chili cheese hot dog. Not messy & the fork wasn't on top of the food. And the Free Carmel ice coffee came out fresh not like last time (ice coffee had no ice, whip cream melted like it was sitting for a while). Taste was delicious. But the Carmel croissant was a bit disappointing. For $2, you only got 4 itty bitty balls. See picture...

True story: I have a friend who became convinced that owning a Sonic was the secret to his happiness. So, he tried to do a GoFundMe to raise the franchise fee that would open the door to his dream. It didn't work (unsurprisingly). However, it did make me curious about this fast-food chain with which I had no experience. So, one day while I was at nearby Franciscan I noticed the Sonic down here on Emerson and decided that I would stop. It took me several times to finally make this happen, yesterday being that time, and I can now write about the experience. First off, um, what's the big deal? It's fast food. It's obviously fast food. It's NOTHING like those retro experiences of carhops on roller skates or 50's drive-in experiences like still exist at Mel's Drive-In or The Suds or to a lesser degree Steer-In. You either have a drive-thru or you can pull-up to one of their drive-in spots which surround the building. Since I wanted the true Sonic experience, I pulled into a drive-in spot. There's a button you push and you place your order. The order is then brought to you. There's a credit card machine where you order, but it didn't work. You can, of course, also pay with cash. The food is then brought to you and you can eat it right there. It's kind of a weird feeling considering how close these drive-in spots are. However, it works. Sonic has a breakfast menu and their traditional lunch/dinner menu. I was there in the early evening hours and opted for a classic crispy chicken sandwich with tots. I made it a combo and made that combo a large with my usual unsweetened iced tea. The chicken sandwich was meh. It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. It was a functional chicken sandwich. I think part of it was presentation - it looked kind of pathetic. It tasted a little better than it looked. The tots? They are wrapped in this container designed to keep them warm. I found them undercooked and was disappointed with order size considering I'd upsized it. I would not order the tots again. The iced tea was fine. The cup size was generous and I like that they actually give you enough ice and that the styrofoam cup keeps that ice from easily melting. Sonic is known for its drink options and this was definitely the best part of the meal. There was certainly nothing craveworthy here, though it also wasn't really appalling. I'd go back, but I wouldn't rush back and it's certainly not an experience I'd go out of my way for. If I return, I'll likely try a burger and I'd switch to fries to see if it's a better option. The pricing is actually fairly reasonable, a definite plus these days. However, for those seeking a real drive-in experience I'd definitely try something more like Steer-In or Mel's Drive-In as they're more authentic about it all. Overall, this was a solid mid-range experience. I don't regret going, however, I won't be rushing back. The food was a solid, though unremarkable, fast food experience at a good price and if that's what I'm craving then I'd no doubt give it another chance if I'm in the area in the future. If I ever buy myself a franchise, however, I'll sure be working to give the experience more of the classic vibe and to hire folks who "get" what this experience could really be that would distinguish it from other fast food joints. In terms of accessibility, given the fact that much of this is a drive-in or drive-thru experience, it can easily be tailored toward one's individual needs. They do also note that they have accessible ordering drive-in spots and that you can request assistance if needed. So, that's a plus.

I usually enjoy going to sonic they have the best slushees, but today I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was cold like it had been sitting out all day. I asked for another sandwich but they took so long to bring it out I had left. Not sure what happened Friday but the service was horrible

I just want to say this was the best experience we have ever had there. My family and I come there…read moreon a regular because we love the food. We haven't had the best service in the past but the last 2 times we came we had Josh and both times he was exceptional! He remembered us from our last visit and even knew our drinks and appetizer. My son is extremely picky and Josh was so helpful and patient. He even talked my son into trying something new and he loved it! I will return because of Josh and his excellent customer service. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because it was truly amazing! Thank you!

Some restaurants try too hard to have personality…read more Bubba's 33 doesn't have to. From the moment you walk in, there's an energetic, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you've already been here a dozen times. Between the fun décor, friendly staff, and the steady stream of regulars coming through the doors, it's obvious this place has built a loyal following--and after one visit, we completely understood why. We both ordered Bubba's Bacon Cheeseburger, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The beef-and-bacon blend gives the burger an extra layer of flavor that sets it apart from your average cheeseburger. Juicy, perfectly cooked, stacked high, and paired with crispy loaded fries that disappeared embarrassingly fast. Burger Craving Meter: One surprise we loved? Every table has free trivia games built right into the tabletop tablet. It turned the short wait for our food into a friendly competition... ...we actually won a round. We grabbed a table by the massive garage doors, giving us the best of both worlds--air-conditioned comfort with an open-air patio feel. It's one of those spaces that's just easy to relax in. "Can We Stay Another Hour?" Meter: Between the generous portions, reasonable prices, fun atmosphere, and genuinely great service, Bubba's 33 feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you'll find yourself recommending long before you've finished your meal.
